Hi,
A little over 1 year ago, I purchased the BIG-VE-LAB-V13 product from CDW. At the time, it was confusing because there was not a v13. The version of the virtual appliance I installed was 11....
Using it right now. v12.1 is covered by F5-BIG-VE-LAB-V13.
Make sure you do not build new BigIP VMs, otherwise you will invalidate your license. If you rebuild, take hard copies of the BigIP VM Virtual Disk , and all files in the VM folder. Store them on a separate location for backup.
Not 100% sure, but it might be possible to pick up a support contract for your expired system. I know for production licenses you may have to pay a penalty, but I haven't heard of a similar thing for lab licenses.
